OIL-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent, Pm mm-tgfi l t [mp 23 fittingApplication filed st amer M, rem. Serial Nb. wlglw.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DELTON ll. Hornet, acitizen of the United States, residing at Golumbus, in the county ofFranklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Oil- Burner,of which the following is a specification.

The device formin the subject matter of this application is a apted tobe employed for turning liquid fuel into gas and for burning the gasthus produced, and it is the object of the invention to improve theconstruction of the riming charge holder, so that the same wi l hepeculiarly 'eficient in directing the products of combustion derived byburning a priming charge, toward and upon the loop-shaped generating andcombustion pipe.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type towhich the presentinvention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription pro" ceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departin from the spirit of theinvention.

In t e accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation wherein partsappear in section;

Fig. 2 is a top plan;

Fig. 3 is a cross section.

In carrying out the resent invention there is provided a base inc udingair fines 1 constituting-supports for the lower arm 2 of a loop-shapedpipe 3 the upper arm of which is denoted'by the numeral 4. The lower arm2 has combustion orifices 5 coiiperating with the air dues 1, and flamespreaders 6 are mounted on the upper arm 4 above the orifices 5, itbeing possible to turn the spread ers so as to deflect the flame indifferent directions.

The air flues 1 are connected by a priming charge holder including walls7 which converge at any desired angle, upwardly, toward the loop-shapedpipe 3 and, specifically, toward the lower arm 2 thereof. The walls 7may be supplied with fuel holding seats of any desired kind, the same inthe present instance being shown in the form 0t longitudinalcorrugations 8. It corrugar tions are employed, the same may be of any,

desired leng h, but if the conn ationsextend the full length of thewalled, then the flues l constitute closures for the ends of thecorrugations The walls 7 may be covered on their outer surfaces with anincombustihle material of any Mud such as a layer at asbestos 9. Abracketll) is secured to one of 2 and thence to the orifices, where theas is consumed. Air asses upwardly throug the fines l, in a wel ownmanner.

A primingicharge may be deposited in the seats or corrugations 8 of thewalls 7, and

he ignited, for the purpose or heating the pipe ii initially. Owingtothe'iact that the; walls 7 converge, as hereinbefore described and shownin the drawings, the flame from the burning priming charge will becaused to converge upon the pipe 3, with peculiar efiiciency, a minimumamount of priming material being suficient to heat the pipe 3 to thedesired extent.

Those skilled in the art will understand readily that the devicehereinbetore described is of that general type which ordinarily is usedin a cook stove.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:-

1. A device of the class described com-' prising spaced supports; aloop-shaped pipe including an upper arm, and a lower arm carried by thesupports and having a com-- bustion orifice; and a priming-charge holderconnecting the supports and lncludmg walls which converge upwardly andmeet below i the lower arm of the pipe. v

2. A device of the class described constructed as described in claim 1,and further characterized by the fact that the converging walls of thepriming charge holder are supplied with charge-holdin seats.

3. A device of the class escribed, comprising spaced supports; a loopshaped pipe including an upper arm, and a lower arm carried by thesupports and having a com;

bustion orifice; and a priming charge holder connecting the supports andincludin walls which converge upwardly toward the pipe,

the converging walls of the priming rge.

holder being supplied with longitudinal corrugetions-constituting chargeholdin seats.

4:. A device offltheclass describe ,comprising spaced supports; a loopshaped pipe including an upper arm, and a lower arm carried by thesupports and having a, combustion orifice; and a priming charge holderconnecting the supports and including walls which converge upwardlytoward the pipe,

the; priming charge holder being provided with longitudinal'corrugetions extended the full length thereof and constituting chargeholding seats, the supports forming closures for the ends of thecorrugations.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 15 my own, I have heretoaffixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
